That’s from a lawsuit filed by Kianor Shah, a California dentist who is accusing the retail giant and one of its former execs of ripping off his idea to open discount dental clinics inside its big box stores.

Shah is suing Walmart; its former vice president of new business development, Kent Reeves; and Reeve’s business partner, Ken Antos, in California federal court.

Shah claims he pitched his “innovative idea of opening low-cost, full service dental offices in big box retailers” to Walmart in late 2008.

He said he had signed a non-disclosure agreement with the retailer, had met with Reeves and was “well down the road with lease negotiations” for space to build dental offices when Walmart pulled the plug. Last year, however, Shah learned that Comfort Care Dentistry, which he says is now backed by former Walmart exec Reeves, had signed a deal with Walmart to open at least three dental practices, including two in California and one in Arizona.

Shah said the dental offices are exactly like the spaces he proposed — “right down to the type of dental chairs that he had custom ordered.”

A spokesman for the retailer said, “Walmart did not misappropriate any information” from Shah. Antos didn’t return calls.

Walmart has been making forays into the health-care business, including opening vision centers in a number of its stores.
